Restoration Timber

Description

Jim Stafford Jim left a successful career in high tech to build his own house. Taken by the beauty of antique wood, Jim was determined to use reclaimed timber as much as possible in his own home. He trekked across the Midwest and the South to find the exquisite old growth wood that he knew languished across America in abandoned factories, barns and warehouses. Friends and colleagues were delighted with the materials he found, and they asked him to find reclaimed wood for them. As an entrepreneur, Jim saw the opportunity and founded Restoration Timber. jim@restorationtimber.com Mike Wilson Mike has worked with American and exotic hard woods since he was first allowed into his father's shop. Growing up in the Midwest, Mike has appreciated the beauty of fine woods in furniture, cabinetry and flooring for over 25 years.

Compare Reclaimed Wood with New Wood Reclaimed Wood The wood we provide is from barns, factories and other structures built from trees that were cut down 100 years ago or more. These structures were not built to last that long. They are deteriorating and they have to come down. New Wood A tree has to be grown and then cut down. In most cases this means deforesting the land. Responsible citizens need to ask whether someone is replacing the tree that was cut to provide their new wood. Reclaimed Wood This wood is from first or second growth forests, which were once in abundance. New Wood Today's fast-growth woods simply lack the quality and grain of old growth timber. No amount of staining, distressing or other work can equal slow growth and 100 or more years of natural aging.
